About the author
Born in Dublin on August 31, 1806, Charles James Lever studied medicine at Trinity College and drew on his student escapades, travels, and colorful encounters for his fiction. He began publishing The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer in 1837, and its comic energy quickly established him as a popular writer. Other notable novels included Charles O’Malley, Jack Hinton, Tom Burke of “Ours,” The Knight of Gwynne, and The Dodd Family Abroad.
Lever edited the Dublin University Magazine before spending much of his later life traveling through continental Europe. He served as British vice-consul at La Spezia and became consul at Trieste in 1867. He continued writing while abroad, producing works such as The Fortunes of Glencore, Davenport Dunn, and Lord Kilgobbin. He died in Trieste on June 1, 1872.
